Topic: is there mozarella that's salty? i may have been ripped off (Read 2334 times)

I bought ten kilos of mozzarella from a supplier that I haven't tried yet. They're a big discount shop in the Philippines. I'm wondering if the mozarella I got is really mozarella. It tastes like cheddar. Is there a kind of mozarella that's as salty as cheddar? It's also the same texture as cheddar... a bit sandy texture (don't know how else to describe it). It's not soft when thawed usually when I thaw mozarella it's soft. Is this mozarella?

I've gotten a cheese from Wisconsin, called Mozarella, that's really more like a white Cheddar, that I tried a year ago. Nice cheese, but absolutely not a mozz. Name was something like Schulmann's. Sounds something like what you got.

What's the taste and texture like when melted on a pie? If it's not there for you it may still be worth trying a blend of 50/50 with another type of mozzerella you like, might turn out pretty good since alot of people/pizza joints do some sort of blend anyway.Jon
